Abstract

1360546 Balances; poising TIMEX CORP 3 Feb 1972 [10 Feb 1971] 5185/72 Heading G3T To permit poising of a balnce 10 carrying a coil 13 or other body which may vary in weight, the rim 11 has an offset counterweight portion 26 which is of crescent shape and introduces a degree of unbalance such that, when suspended with its axis horizontal, the balance takes up an appropriate angular position opposite a fixed tool 29. Actuation of the tool then removes an amount of material from the periphery 27 of the portion 26 to partly or wholly poise the balance. In the former case there may be a second, fine poising operation. Fig. 2 shows the position taken up by a balance having a coil 13 of minimum possible weight, and Fig. 3 the position with a coil of maximum weight. The method of calculating the balance dimensions, e.g. of spoke 23 and the periphery 27, is described. The body may alternatively consist of a pair of magnets (40), Fig. 10, (not shown), on a balance disc (41) which includes a specially curved external peripheral portion (42).
